意义何在?你为什么要这么努力工作?

意义在于养活自己和家人,让他们有衣服穿,有住房。但是,一旦你的收入足以满足生活必需品,生活的意义又是什么?在思维机器和丰富的碳氢化合物能源时代,拥有如此多的物质财富,我们为什么还要这么努力工作?

人类生存的意义在于消费艺术。艺术有多种形式,但从根本上讲,它是人类为娱乐他人而创造的一种体验。它完全无用,但同时也是无价的。

让我们来看看一些传统的艺术形式,谈谈它们的用处。

· 体育运动——一种人类在别人观看的同时浪费精力玩游戏的运动。

· 在餐馆吃饭——一种人类增强食物风味的运动,这样就可以愉快地消耗卡路里来继续生活。

· 听音乐——除了享受音乐之外,音乐没有任何意义。

· 跳舞——人类为了好玩而消耗宝贵的能量来移动身体。

· 观看视觉艺术——涉及人类为他人欣赏而创造的视觉对象。

总的来说,这些活动是人类文化的主体。文化让生活变得有价值,因此,人类文化创造了价值数万亿美元的经济活动。显然,允许消费和保存文化的平台具有极高的价值。

通过公共区块链以保留稀缺性但无限可扩展的方式消费文化,将吸引下一个十亿用户使用加密货币。这是推动 2021 年非同质化代币 ( NFT ) 牛市的梦想。

尽管第一次 NFT 牛市令人印象深刻,但人们实际上在交易什么?人们承诺将以去中心化的方式购买、出售和存储这些新的数字艺术形式。然而,经过深入研究,许多收藏品都是稀缺的同质化数字代币的组合,这些代币指向保存艺术内容的中心化数据库。你购买的像素化 PFP 很可能指向一个由中心化实体拥有和运营的数据库。如果出于某种原因,该数据库没有得到维护,你的「资产」将立即变为零。

2023 年,比特币 Ordinals 突然出现,作为一种创建纯粹存在于比特币区块链上的数字产品的手段。只要我们崇拜中本聪,刻在区块链上的数据(称为 Ordinals )就会存在。 Ordinals 不需要比特币区块链之外的应用程序来存在和持续。

Ordinals 为使用最多、最有价值的公共区块链比特币带来了文化。这就是为什么当加密数字艺术的销量上升时,随着加密财富效应的兴起, Ordinals 将引领潮流。 Ordinals 交易量将激增,社区的创造力将得到充分展示。 Ordinals 最好的一点是,无论有些人认为刻有的艺术有多么愚蠢或令人反感,没有人可以将它们取下来。

在 Maelstrom ,我委托投资团队负责人 Akshat Vaidya 资助一个 Ordinals 项目。经过认真研究,我们投资了 Oyl 钱包。为了向艺术家展示使用 Ordinals 技术和 Oyl 钱包功能可以实现什么,我合作开发了一个名为 Airheads 的 Ordinals 项目。

我想创作真实的数字艺术,我将其定义为展示一种表达人类创造力的新方式。我指示 Oyl 团队创建一个只能使用 Ordinals 技术完成的艺术系列。 Oyl 的才华横溢的创意人员提出了 Airheads 的概念。

整个世界本能地认识到人类文明史上目前所处的阶段是虚假的。二战毫无意义的破坏催生出了许多为现代文明提供动力的技术。和平、安全且几乎无碳的核能可产生数吉瓦的电力。数十亿人可以乘坐商业航班环游世界。当然,战争带来的最重要成果是:创造了一种新型的硅基生命,我们称之为思维机器或计算机。

战后,人口和人类相对财富的增长令人震惊。但简单的事情已经完成了,现在,政客们为了证明自己的存在,开始印钞,从事各种对人类状况产生净拖累的活动。绿色能源可能是这个时代全球最严重的错误投资。因为我们拥有廉价而充足的资本,而这些资本只是廉价而充足的碳氢化合物的衍生物,所以政客们认为他们可以决定自然法则,而不是相反。采用风能和太阳能等密度较低的能源形式,并期望它们取代煤炭、天然气和石油等密度更高的能源形式,这永远不会自然发生。我说的自然是指没有政府补贴或低于市场利率的贷款。

绿色能源骗局只是一个例子。你们中的许多人对自 1971 年美国治下的和平放弃金本位以来发生的通货膨胀感到遗憾。忘掉政府操纵的同比通胀统计数据吧。一条面包的名义价格今天比昨天高。在科技发达、能源廉价的时代,情况本不必如此。

无论精英们如何欺骗你,你都知道这一点。

你的反应是投机。你的反应是购买神奇的互联网货币。你的反应是抬高你理解和欣赏的「稀缺」数字文化形式。

Airheads 是一个利用精英阶层强加给我们的通货膨胀的系列。它在美学和技术上都做到了这一点。

从美学角度来看, Airheads 是一个以气球为原型的角色系列。想象一下 Jeff Koons 的气球状角色,他们俏皮但堕落。这些气球隐喻地充满了我们这个时代的通货膨胀。它们肥胖而美丽,因为我们都经历过通货膨胀。

从技术角度来看, Airheads 是第一个使用排行榜系统的 Ordinals 系列,你的钱包大小决定了你的等级。与其他具有随机属性的系列不同, Airheads 具有清晰的层次结构。这种方法利用递归铭文来突破收藏品可以代表的界限,使 Airheads 成为唯一真正为早期投资和承担最大风险的人设计的系列。

详细信息

Airhead s 是独特的比特币 Ordinals ,旨在展示和炫耀你的财富。每个 Airhead 都是一个充气的气球状角色,使用递归艺术生成,以直观地表示铸造时你的数字投资组合的规模和价值。有 10,000 个 Airhead s 可用,这些角色使用顺序排名和层级区分来反映排行榜中的资产权重,使其成为一种有趣且具有竞争力的展示财富的方式。

· 特殊角色和层级: Airheads 均匀分布在 10 个层级中,每个层级代表不同级别的投资组合规模。一些最令人兴奋的角色可能会出现在较低的层级中,这增加了惊喜和价值元素。

· 包装变体:每个 Airhead 都包裹在 25 种神秘包装变体中的一种中,随机分配。一些包装的主题与跨层级的角色相匹配,使它们出乎意料地稀有且更令人垂涎。

总的来说,它看起来像这个性感的 Airhead 。请注意,某些身体部位天生就很大;有些角色只是构造不同;)。

如何获得 Airhead ?

要获得 Airhead ,你有以下几种选择:

白名单申请:

白名单将于 8 月 6 日开放。使用 Oyl 钱包申请。在 Twitter 上关注 @ airheadfun 并完成任务以获得 XP (经验值)。即使钱包很小,你也可以赚大钱。参与并在完成每个任务时攀升排行榜。所有赢得分配的申请人都必须支付铸币费。

在排行榜上竞争:

带上你的比特币、 Ordinals 、 BRC -20 和符文来攀升排名。目标是在 Oyl 生态系统中积累最大的投资组合,以赚取最令人印象深刻和膨胀的 Airhead s ,反映你在排行榜上的最高位置。你的投资组合越多,你的排名就越高,你的 Airhead 就越有声望。你必须排名前 10,000 名才能获得分配。

以 0.069 BTC 购买鲸鱼通行证:

通过购买鲸鱼通行证来保证自己获得 Airhead 。将鲸鱼通行证发送到鲸鱼钱包(如你的保险库或分布式账本)。当那个鲸鱼钱包通过将其发送到 Oyl 钱包来激活它时,你发送它的 taproot 地址中的所有资产也将计入您的排行榜位置,从而提供显著的优势(如果你确实是鲸鱼)。

获得 XP 并排名靠前

XP 是通过持有和增加比特币、 Ordinal s 、 BRC -20 和 Runes 资产来获得的。 BRC -20、 Runes 和 Ordinal 系列中有 15 种以上符合条件的资产,这些资产符合赚取 XP 的条件。这会提升你在排行榜上的排名,帮助您成为最胖、最膨胀的 Airhead 。目标是积累最大的投资组合并发挥您的财富。

安装 Oyl 钱包

从 Chrome 网上应用店获取 Oyl 钱包,并在 Oyl . io 上探索钱包内交易体验。为 8 月 6 日开放白名单做好准备,创建或导入您的钱包,然后转移比特币、 Ordinals 、 BRC -20 和 Runes 。白名单开放后,观察您的 XP 累积并攀升至排行榜,有机会铸造 Airhead 。

什一税

从事神灵行业的人通常说,你的收入的 10% 应该捐给教堂、犹太教堂、清真寺等。按照传统, Maelstrom 将使用 Airhead 空投筹集的资金向 Lord Satoshio 缴纳什一税。所赚资金的一部分将用于我们的比特币开发者资助计划。

未来

我的目标是展示使用比特币 Ordinals 技术和用户友好的 Oyl 钱包可以实现什么。我真诚地希望艺术家们能够注意到并从这个系列中汲取灵感,将他们对人类体验的贡献变为现实。如果 Airheads 能够激励他人,它将巩固其作为首创系列的地位,并在很长一段时间内保持价值。

我们都知道,以我们的名义在世界各地游荡的腐败精英不会停止印钞。我们知道通货膨胀引发的人类苦难将继续有增无减。但至少我们可以找点乐子,让我们的 Airhead 膨胀起来,让它变得非常胖,并告诉那些鄙视加密货币的人去取悦我的 Airhead 。

Stablecoin Salaries: Why Are They Becoming the First Choice for Cross-Border Workers?

Stablecoin Salaries: Why They're Becoming the Top Choice for Global Remote Workers The traditional global salary system carries hidden exchange rate risks for freelancers in countries like India, Argentina, and Turkey who earn in USD but spend in local currencies. When salaries are instantly converted to local currency, workers lose purchasing power if that currency depreciates against the dollar. For instance, an Indian designer converting a $2000 monthly salary to rupees lost over 10% in purchasing power last year due to the rupee's decline. Holding even a portion of income in USD or USD-pegged stablecoins can preserve value. Stablecoins offer a solution by breaking down barriers to holding dollars. Opening foreign USD bank accounts is difficult, and international wire transfers incur high fees (averaging 6.5%) and delays. In contrast, stablecoin transfers are fast and low-cost. Furthermore, many countries with high inflation and depreciating currencies restrict citizens' access to foreign currency. Self-custody stablecoin wallets enable workers to hold dollar-equivalent assets without needing bank approval, bypassing these limits. These wallets integrate multiple functions: they allow users to convert only what's needed for daily expenses into local currency, keep the remainder in stablecoins, connect to on-chain lending or yield products, and even link to payment cards for direct spending. While challenges remain—such as the lack of deposit insurance and evolving regulatory frameworks—the trend is clear. Reports indicate a growing preference for USD or stablecoin payments among freelancers in high-inflation countries. This shift represents a fundamental restructuring of salary functions: payment currency, asset storage, yield generation, spending, and cross-border flow. It offers the freedom and flexibility that are core to money's purpose, signaling a profound change in the global financial landscape.

Don't Just Focus on Layoffs, The New Structure of the Ethereum Foundation is More Worthy of Appreciation

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) has undergone a significant organizational restructuring, with the most notable change being a strategic refocusing of its priorities rather than just a 20% staff reduction (approximately 54 people). The new structure clearly prioritizes the Protocol and Access layers, which now comprise the largest teams (57 and 34 people, respectively). This signals EF's intent to concentrate its core resources on fundamental, hard-to-outsource aspects of Ethereum: protocol evolution, security, privacy, client development, and the foundational access layer. Key areas within the Protocol layer, led by an architecture group including Vitalik Buterin and Justin Drake, receive heightened emphasis. These include post-quantum security, zkEVM, formal verification, and long-term roadmap development ("Strawmap"). This reflects a shift towards tackling complex, interdependent challenges like scalability, privacy, and future-proofing the protocol, potentially moving from a pure "redundant security" multi-client model towards more specialized clients aided by AI-assisted formal verification. Financially, EF's budget is being reduced by approximately 40%. The goal is to transition from spending about 15% of its remaining funds annually to a more sustainable 5% rate, akin to a long-term endowment, ensuring its longevity. Concurrently, the restructuring involves pushing certain responsibilities—such as application development, adoption, and ecosystem coordination—to external organizations like EthLabs, the Ethereum Apps Guild, and others. This "multi-node" model aims to increase ecosystem resilience by decentralizing functions beyond the EF, though it introduces new coordination challenges. In essence, the reorganization represents EF consciously narrowing its scope to focus on the hardest, most critical protocol-level problems while fostering a more distributed and sustainable ecosystem structure for Ethereum's future growth.

Report Analysis: What Is Coherent Planning as CPO Booms?

Title: Report Interpretation: What Moves Is Coherent Making Amid the CPO Boom? Summary: JP Morgan analyst Samik Chatterjee reiterates an Overweight rating on Coherent (COHR), citing undervalued growth potential across three core areas: data center optical transceivers, co-packaged optics (CPO) chips, and industrial lasers/thermal management. COHR's 1.6T data center transceivers are in high demand, with pricing remaining firm. The rise of CPO is seen not as a threat but as a catalyst, creating higher demand for sophisticated optical components, an area where COHR holds a competitive edge with its comprehensive portfolio (lasers, isolators, VCSELs, thermoelectric coolers). Each CPO chip offers significantly greater revenue potential than traditional transceivers. Furthermore, its Optical Circuit Switch (OCS) technology targets a potential $4B market with reliability and power advantages. The company is expanding its InP (Indium Phosphide) device capacity fourfold within two years, securing substrate supply and transitioning to more cost-effective 6-inch wafers. As one of only two major suppliers of high-quality pump lasers—currently in severe shortage—COHR can now move up the value chain from components to complete line cards/systems, boosting ASP over tenfold. Gross margin targets (>42%) may be revised upward due to high-end product premiums, cost improvements from the wafer transition, and contributions from new high-margin products like CPO and OCS. Its efficient thermadite thermal material also offers long-term growth. Industrial segment revenue grows at a steady 5-10%, supported by semiconductor equipment orders. Changes in Apple's Face ID protocol present a re-competition opportunity for 3D sensing. Overall, Coherent is positioned as a key infrastructure provider, with AI-driven compute demand fueling the need for high-speed optical interconnectivity. Growth from CPO/OCS, stable industrial performance, and margin improvement support the bullish thesis. *Disclaimer: This summary interprets a third-party analyst report from JP Morgan. It does not constitute investment advice.*

Dan Koe's New Article: Escape the Fate of the Wage Slave, How to Survive in the Tide of AI Replacement?

Dan Koe's article argues that the real threat in the AI era is not technology itself, but financial dependency on employers. He critiques the "wage slavery" of unfulfilling work and identifies five core skills for resilience: agency, taste, persuasion, persistence, and iteration. These are developed not by consuming content, but by starting your own venture. The key to escaping the "employee mindset" is a radical identity shift. This requires: 1) Drastically changing your environment and daily inputs, 2) Choosing a creative medium (like content or code) that provides real-world feedback through trial and error, and 3) Using that feedback to learn and adapt. Koe strongly advocates for content creation over coding for beginners, as it builds irreplaceable subjective taste and audience connection. The practical starting point is a 15-minute self-inquiry to define your "life's work." Answer: What do you know deeply? What innate abilities do you have? What childhood interests were suppressed? Then, identify your contrarian beliefs—what does the mainstream get wrong in your area? The overlap is your unique direction. The final, non-negotiable step is to publish your first piece of content tomorrow. Embrace that it will be bad; the goal is to enter the feedback loop of creation, learning, and iteration, which is the true path to independence.

After Laying Off 20% of Staff, What Are the Key Points of EF's New Structure?

Following the completion of a months-long organizational restructuring, the Ethereum Foundation (EF) announced a 20% workforce reduction (approximately 54 employees) on June 23rd. It reorganized its teams into five new core clusters: Protocol, Access, User, Community, and Institutional (plus Operations/Management support units). Officially, this move implements the EF's 2026 Mandate and 2025 Treasury Management Policy, aiming to create a more focused and "self-sovereign" organization. The restructuring prioritizes the CROPS principles—Censorship Resistance, Openness & Freedom, Privacy, and Security—as foundational organizational tenets. The Protocol cluster will focus on core protocol R&D, including MEV reduction and zkEVM. The Access cluster emphasizes preserving user "zero option" for non-custodial, permissionless interaction. The User, Community, and Institutional clusters will manage external engagement, with the latter handling institutional and regulatory matters. While offering enhanced severance and transition support for affected employees, the EF did not disclose budget allocations or specific KPIs for the new clusters. This has led to market uncertainty about the impact on project funding and development priorities. Analysts note the announcement's positive tone of mission focus contrasts with a backdrop of recent EF leadership changes and broader ecosystem pressures. The true impact—whether this signifies strategic realignment or reactive contraction—will become clearer as the new structure's resource allocation and project prioritization are revealed in the coming months.
